Default Re: Underage Sex (if both are underage)

I feel that this also falls into the same topic similar to military perspective of homosexuality: Don't ask, don't tell. If two under-aged parties decide to engage in sexual activity, that is really their decision and responsibility, not undermining parent's rules or whatever, just something two mature under-aged people are interested in doing.

I agree with Verruckter that age is in fact as simple as a number, but then again there are the laws.

But to defend my point, I don't think the two who engaged in the activity should tell the whole world what they just did; unless the parents found out that this has happened, they should keep it under wraps, telling only those they trust like friends, etc.

It's appalling that the law has to play a role in this because it is a right of choice, not a crime (unless it was rape). Since they are minors, it should be parents' responsibility to handle what their kids are getting into. They set the rules, they tell them what's right and wrong, and let the minor deal with the consequences in their actions.

Going to jail over this is irrational.
